    A song still known to most people, but very few actually sing it, came from a musical drama written by someone who died while American consul in Tunis. Can you name the song, the musical drama and the writer?

    Question #63360. Asked by Baloo55th.

    The musical was 'Clari' or the 'Maid of Milan'. The song was 'Home Sweet Home' (and you're right about most people being aware of it but no-one actually singing it!) The songwriter was John Howard Payne.
